anytime the cones on my wheels need tightening, i just use the justin method of hand-tightening them. is this in any way detrimental as opposed to using honest-to-jesus cone wrenches (which i do not own)?
if i should actually get cone wrenches, how do i know what size i need?

Cones and their locknuts should be the tightest thing on the bike. I'd get some cone wrenches.
As to size, ride you bike to the shop and see. It's usually 2 each of:
13mm
15mm
17mm (but a regular wrnch usually works too)
You have a new bike scottie so your cone and lock nut should take different size wrenches, probably a 15mm and a 17mm. Like SC said, you don't need a cone wrench for the lock nut which is usually 2mm larger than the cone.
I would happily look over your shoulder but your shoulder is in Calgary so the internet will have to do. This would be a good time to put new grease in your hub.

Why do people change their avatars? Can't you just stay stable? What does the internet make everyone Skid-so?
I don't even know you all anymore...
I know, how about a pic of your face and your name as your avatar? WTF are you all hiding? It isn't like the government/bush/blow-up the white house/terrorism/ I am the uni-bomber sect isn't going to find us all anyways. Whay else do we get drunk every Thursday? BtAH works for the CIA.
Or maybe we could just all do intros in the Photo gallery.
